The House of the Linsky Sisters by Florian Kalbeck Pdf

The celebrated concert pianist Clara Line is going through a period of artistic crisis when her twin sister Resl suddenly dies. Clara's decision to adopt the name and persona of her twin leads to involvements with four very different men. But the place is Vienna, the year's 1937, the eve of Hitler's invasion of Austria, and Clara Line, now Resl Linsky, is Jewish. Her search for fulfillment also leads to involvement in the resistance and the discovery of the spiritual dimension of a Judaism she thought she had left behind.

Ephemeral Aphorisms by Phia Rilke,Sophie Rilke Pdf

The fact that many of Phia Rilke's texts are based on her own personal experiences and are not mere linguistic and intellectual wordplays invests them with depth and significance and makes them the fascinating expression of a free spirit of the fin de siecle in Prague and Vienna. This bilingual edition of Phia Rilke's personal reflections on her life and time adds insightful observations on the rich cultural scene to which she belonged for eight decades.

The Abbey by Alois Brandstetter Pdf

It is this case that he has been called upon to investigate and report upon in detail to the Abbot, but his work as a detective, while in its own right interesting and remarkable, is only the pretext for a wide-ranging psychological and spiritual investigation of the condition of postwar Austria: its consumer society, its transformation of religion and history into tourism, and, most important, its failure to look itself squarely in the eye."--BOOK JACKET.

The Jib Door by Marlen Haushofer Pdf

In this novel the protagonist struggles with almost solipsistic isolation, alternating with a delight in solitude and routine. In narrative form punctuated by diary entries, the author describes in plain, almost prosaic detail these struggles and the ultimately futile attempt Annette makes to escape their cycle. To read Haushofer well requires and enables courage, for her realities are banal and cold, her consolations bleak, hardworn -- and paradoxical, but one is left with a vital sense of affirmation.

Allemann by Alfred Kolleritsch Pdf

Kolleritsch transforms what might appear to be a timeworn "historical" theme into a semi-autobiographical statement about the present as the evil from the past latently and semiconsciously pervades the present. The scars on Joseph's body from his past are rediscovered in the virtually unreformed lives of his fellow countrymen."--Jacket.

Flight from Greatness by Hans Weigel Pdf

Translation from the German work first published in 1978, presented here with an afterword by the translator, Lowell A. Bangerter. Six biographical essays on writers Ferdinand Raimund, Johann Nestroy, Franz Grillparzer, Adalbert Stifter and composers Franz Schubert and Johann Strauss help illuminate the Austrian character. The author contends that the common elements of not being recognized, of being misunderstood, and of self misunderstanding make up the "Austrian fate" or greatness fleeing from itself.

Chasing After the Wind by Barbara Frischmuth Pdf

Barbara Frischmuth, among the most widely recognised and respected Austrian writers today, is recognised not only for her descriptive skill, but also for being a moderate feminist. In these four short tales she presents realistic portraits of women caught up in relationships determined largely by social conventions, internalised roles, and sometimes just plain bad luck. Taking her title from Ecclesiastes "All is vanity and a chasing after the wind" she presents psychologically sound studies of women protagonists' futile efforts to break out of the dead-end situations, in which they have been trapped.
